Question

Estimate the value of acceleration due to gravity(g) at the peak of Mt.Everest which is 8848m above sea level. The value of sea level is 9.8ms and the mean radius of Earth is 6.37*10 power 6m. The answer is 9.773ms approx. I want how to calculate that. Please.​

Answer 1

Answer:

9.773 m/s2

Explanation:

first you must know the formula of acceleration due to gravity (above the earth) which is g'=g(1-2h/r)

So here we got the formula. g, h and r were given. So, you just need to substitute those into the formula and you will get the answers
